When The Door Is Not A Door

18+(This is going to be a three-in-one series. Enjoy guys.) Mariah Elena Rivera has been living a lie for eight months. Her werewolf boyfriend Ethan claimed she was his fated mate, she agreed rather than break his heart...even though she's human and can't feel the mate bond he describes. Their relationship is comfortable, safe, and built on the biggest lie of her life. Then Rain Cross moves in next door. The disgraced NHL superstar is Chicago's newest Blackhawk, traded after destroying his career in Toronto through spectacular self-sabotage. He's gorgeous, broken, and hiding secrets darker than his reputation suggests. He's also a powerful alpha werewolf whose wolf recognizes Mariah as his true mate the instant he catches her scent. One night of explosive passion destroys everything Mariah thought she knew about love, desire, and destiny. But Ethan isn't surrendering his "mate" without a fight, and in the werewolf world, false claims have deadly consequences.

He knocked once. She opened the door. Nothing has been the same since. Maya has spent the last two years learning how to breathe again. After surviving a violent relationship that shattered her from the inside out, all she wants is silence. Safety. Control. But when a new tenant moves in next door, her carefully rebuilt life begins to unravel. Elias Graves is tall, quiet, and just out of prison. No past. No apologies. No promises. He doesn’t ask for anything. He just watches. And when Maya leaves her door unlocked one night, he walks in. What begins as a collision of need and heat quickly spirals into something darker, something Maya swore she would never want again. He gives her the pain she craves and the pleasure she hates herself for needing. But secrets live between their bodies, and some doors—once opened—won’t ever close again. This is not a love story. It’s a story about addiction. About survival. About surrendering to a man who might just ruin her… or finally teach her how to survive the fire.
